Lord Taylor of Warwick has lied under oath in order to cover up fraudulent claims of more than £11,000 in taxpayers money. Yet he gets to retain his position in the House of Lords even though he is just beginning a 12 month stint in jail. How does that work ?
I thought “Lords” were supposed to be honorable and clearly Taylor is not. His dishonesty should be enough to have him stripped of his peerage and therefore booted out of the House.
Taylor now joins an exclusive club for rodents, he joins a select group of MPS that have received jail sentences for fiddling tax payers money. He is member number five.
What amazes me is how so many others have escaped going to court and joining this less than illustrious group. Worse still is how few of them think that they were doing anything wrong.
